Simplified Series is our monthly technical series where invited guests give presentations with an aim to keep young professionals up to date with emerging technologies in various aspects of the oil and gas industry while promoting professional networking.

The Unplugged 360 Series exists to highlight and educate on the importance of non-technical skills. The workplace is constantly evolving and we will typically draw more heavily on soft skills to effectively navigate these changes. This quarterly series provides an opportunity for professionals to unplug from daily routines and to look beyond job descriptive competencies. It will provide an opportunity to take a 360 view on the various behavioural components we consciously and subconsciously exhibit in order to understand how interpersonal skills can play a key role in our professional lives. The series will address the skills and behaviours that are typically regarded as secondary or forgotten: leadership, emotional intelligence, management, effective communication and an appreciation for diversity, inclusion and equality.
